Severe depression and anxiety on birth control?
This all started about two weeks ago. Ive been on yaz for about 6 months and was doing ok on it. Only problem was it made me moody and emotional so after 6 months I deicded to see my doctor and have her switch me to something else. She gave me aviane and I started taking it for about two weeks. Everything was fine but I ended losing that pack and didnt take the pill for about 5-6 days until I got a new pack from the pharmacy. On the third day or so I got my period (Ive heard that its normal to get an early period when stopping in the middle of a pack) on the third day of not taking the pill I developed the absolute worst panic attacks and depression. I didn't know what was happening to me. I didn't eat for 3 days straight and even ended up going to the emergency room where they gave me a low dose of xanax. My body felt heavy I had tightness in my chest, felt disoriented, complete apathy, nervousness and it just wouldn't go away. I decided to start a new pack again and have been taking it for a week now and it hasn't gotten any better. I still feel like this to this very day and it interferes with my life. I hardly even leave the house. Ive now decided to stop taking bc all together hoping that this feeling will eventually go away. I sometimes feel better talking about it. I just wanted to know if anyone has experienced any of these symptoms, how long it took their body to get back to normal after stopping them and if theres anything I can do to make myself feel better. Ive never felt so bad in my life!
